Closure vs function factory

[dcopp]

I read through the EXCELLENT javascript 101 you provided and have one suggestion: under

http://learn.jquery.com/javascript-101/closures/

after the first block of loop code it is stated "Closures can be used to prevent this...". That REALLY threw me for a loop since the anon function in the loop, when invoked, IS a closure. It's just a closure that isn't doing what is wanted.

It may have been less confusing if the text read "A function factory returning the closure may be used to prevent this." It's not the fact that a closure was used, but how it was used.

I am really impressed by the tutorial. Excellent work!
